our clients. EDiS Company and EDiS Building Systems (EBS) Solutions are doing just that, as premier builders of Butler ® Pre-Engineered Metal Buildings. When you think of pre-engi- neered metal buildings, you probably think of featureless, square metal-paneled ware- houses, right? Pre-engineered metal buildings have been relegated to use in industrial buildings, warehouses, and large-scale garages because they were functional, but not necessarily aesthetically pleasing. The rigid structures

and foreboding aesthetic made them less attractive than con- ventional construction. That is simply not the case with today’s pre-engineered solu- tions. Innovation has catapult- ed pre-engineered metal solu- tions outside their old “box” and into new and unexpected markets including sports and entertainment, healthcare, education, commercial ap- plications, and more. Butler Manufacturing ® is an inno- vator in the pre-engineered metal building market, and with their new products, new technology, and customized

of building your facility. But how will your building look? Pre-engineered metal buildings are the most efficient and effective method for the construction of column-free, clear-span space, making them ideal for industrial or ware- house applications. But today’s metal building solutions are so much more. They are flexible and versatile, opening up new applications in markets that you never imagined for metal buildings. Our Wilmington, DE headquarters office is a Butler pre-engineered metal building, as are many EDiS projects from the last decade, but you would never know it! I am consistent- ly impressed with the countless schemes and configurations a pre-engineered metal building can take on. Butler Builders ® like EBS Solutions continue to service new clients in previ- ously underserved market sec- tors, testing the limits of Butler Manufacturing’s ability to find new aesthetics for their solu- tions. Butler comes through every time! There are limitless possibilities – solutions to fit all geometries, framing schemes, and exteriors. The skins offered now are hyper-advanced, and there are more envelope choic- es than ever. No one would ever guess that these buildings were pre-engineered building solu- tions. They give you the best of both worlds – functionality and aesthetics. Who wants to be pouring their money into their build- ing upkeep instead of invest- ing their money in growing their business? Pre-engineered metal building solutions can cost less to maintain over the life of the building, and EBS Solutions can help maintain these facilities by getting you the parts you need to fix your building on your own and helping with re-skinning or re-roofing your building when the time comes. In a time where the chal- lenges of budget, schedule, and ongoing maintenance costs are keeping building owners up at night, pre-engineered metal buildings are the solution of the future. And the future is now!

Often taking half the time of conventional construction from concept to delivery, pre- engineered metal solutions can be a great option for projects with compressed schedules. With time-consuming steps eliminated, the construction of your project can start sooner and finish faster, saving you time and significantly reduc- ing costs. You will be able to occupy your new facility sooner and get down to the business of running your business instead
